101, intrigues
Zhuge Changxiao's eyes lit up, but he didn't say a word. Secretly, a few days ago, he overheard the conversation between the queen mother and her cronies, and knew that she planned to take a concubine for his eldest brother, and he also heard that although the concubine was not big, she was quite scheming and means, and it would definitely be the help of his eldest brother in the future. Today, although I haven't seen him, what Nangong Ji said is true, just seeing his maid knows that he is by no means a simple person.
The queen mother has always been eccentric. Obviously, he and the eldest brother are the biological sons of the queen mother, but when he was a child, whenever there was something delicious, when he grew up, whether it was the throne or a woman, the queen mother's heart would always be the eldest brother. She forgot that she didn't even have a concubine, if he hadn't always been good friends with Nangong Ji, and had asked Nangong Ji to inquire about his cousin Nalan Bing's news, how could he see today's scene, and now, he was extremely curious about the woman in the carriage.
After a while, Zhuge Changxiao deliberately sighed and said, "Now she is going to discuss marriage with Mu Bai, but His Royal Highness knows that what you said is true, and it is too late." ”
Nangong Ji smiled knowingly, "His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness, he is always the son of the dragon, Mu Bai has the support of the Queen Mother, and he will be defeated after all."
Moreover, since the queen mother likes my cousin so much, how can she easily allow her to marry into the Rongguo Mansion, Your Royal Highness only needs to be at the right time, and the mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. ”
Zhuge Changxiao finally looked at Nangong Ji with satisfaction, "Brother Ji is really high-minded." The queen mother and the queen mother compete with the clam, and His Royal Highness only needs to wait for the fisherman to profit. He walked slowly to the table, picked up the wine glass, and handed Nangong Ji a glass, "Brother Ji, His Royal Highness toasts you, he has a successful day, and His Royal Highness has his own gratitude." ”
Nangong Ji took the wine glass, drank it all with a sneer, Nalan Bing, if you want to marry Shangguan Mubai, you have to ask me if Nangong Ji agrees, the life of the rare brother will be doubled by you.
At this time, because of the clear breeze secretly protecting each other all the way, Nalan Bing and Nalan Gang had successfully arrived at the Rongguo Mansion.
Zhu Jing and Qingya dismounted first, Nalan Bing slowly came out of the carriage elegantly, she tilted her head slightly, her temperament was elegant, bathed in the sun, and she had a peerless elegance.
She gently supported Zhu Jing and Qingya left and right, got out of the carriage elegantly, and followed closely behind Nalan Gang.
The Chang manager of the Rongguo Mansion waited in front of the door early in the morning, and when he saw Nalan Gang and his daughter getting off the sedan chair, he hurriedly smiled and said: "The little one has seen the Marquis of Zhongyong, I have seen Miss Nalan, and the grandfather, Mrs. and young master have been waiting in the inner hall. Please Hou Ye and Miss go with the little one. ”
Nalan Gang nodded with a smile on his face, "Manager Chang is too polite!" ”
Nalan Bing looked at the gold lacquer big character "Rongguo Mansion", and felt extremely emotional in his heart, Mu Bai, I'm here!
The entire Rongguo Mansion occupies an area almost twice the size of the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion, but the decoration of the entire Mansion is extremely solemn and simple, but it shows the taste and atmosphere everywhere, which is by no means comparable to the beautiful and glamorous Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.
In Nalan Bing's view, one is a century-old nobleman with a profound heritage, not extravagant but self-esteem; The other is a newborn parent, with low self-esteem and exaggerated, arrogant but not expensive.
Nalan had just walked with Nalan Bing for nearly two quarters of an hour before they came to the inner hall.
It was the first time Shangguan Yao had seen Nalan Bing, and when he saw her delicate appearance and temperament, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Brother Nalan, you haven't been a guest at my house for a long time." ”
As soon as Nalan saw the extremely handsome and upright Shangguan Mubai, his eyes also flashed, and he also said happily: "Brother Shangguan, are you still afraid that I will have no reason to be a guest in the future?" ”
Nalan Bing took a light lotus step, and greeted him with a solemn salute, saying, "Nalan Bing has seen Grandpa Rongguo, Duchess. ”
Mrs. Shangguan glanced at her coldly, and said softly: "In the end, it is a 'small' jasper, and it lacks some bearing, no matter how you look at it, it is not worthy of our Mu Bai." ”
Mrs. Shangguan has been childless for many years, and she is over forty years old, and she has long been disheartened by her heirs, especially Shangguan Yao once told her that everything in the Rongguo Mansion is Mu Bai's, so that she has no crooked thoughts, even if Mu Bai has no children but dies early, he will never inherit from the clan, so that the Rongguo Mansion will be destroyed. Mrs. Shangguan understands that Shangguan Yao did this to prevent her from hurting Mu Bai, and with Mu Bai here, there will be the inheritance of the Rongguo Mansion, and only then will she have her glory and status. Once Mu Bai has an accident and there is no successor in the Rongguo Mansion, according to the law, the emperor will take back the title of the Duke of Rongguo and everything corresponding, including everything she owns, of course.
Since then, Mrs. Shangguan has recognized a fact, whether she wants to or not, the Rongguo Mansion will be Mu Bai to Zuihou. So, she also changed her strategy. She is no longer cold to Mu Bai, but cares for her everywhere, especially keen on his marriage, she is bent on marrying her niece to Mu Bai. It is a fact that Mu Bai is not her own child, and it is also a fact that Mu Bai will eventually inherit everything in the Rongguo Mansion that she is powerless to change, what she can do is to choose a daughter-in-law who can ensure that she will be filial to her and listen to her, so she can't look at Nalan Bing horizontally and vertically.
Shangguan Mubai glanced at Mrs. Shangguan coldly, her eyes were so cold that her heart trembled.
Shangguan Yao also felt his son's anger, and glanced at Mrs. Shangguan dissatisfied.
Nalan was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled, "Madam really loves the son, but in her eyes, only the son is the best." ”
Nalan Bing had also heard Mu Bai mention that Mrs. Shangguan always wanted to marry her niece to him, so she naturally knew why she was targeting her, so she smiled indifferently and didn't take her words to heart.
Shangguan Yao was extremely satisfied with Nalan Bing's elegant bearing, and hurriedly beckoned Nalan Gang and Nalan Bing to sit down, and ordered the chief manager to prepare refreshments and fruits.
Although Mrs. Shangguan was still a little afraid of Shangguan Mubai's coldness, for the sake of her support for the rest of her life, she continued: "I heard that Miss Nalan has good chess skills? ”
It was only when Mrs. Shangguan heard that Nalan Bing had broken Shangguan Mubai's Wei Zi chess game, and the more hostile she became. She originally planned that if there was still no woman who could beat Mu Bai in chess skills in two more years, she would make Shangguan Yao agree to marry her niece to Mu Bai as a side concubine, and once she was pregnant with Mu Bai's child, she would naturally be promoted to the main concubine, but she didn't expect that she would kill Nalan Bing halfway.
Nalan Bing came to block the soldiers, and the water came to cover the earth, and Xianya, who was not worried for half a minute, said calmly: "I understand a little." ”
Shangguan Yao saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and relaxed, and modest and polite, and was a little more satisfied with her.
Mrs. Shangguan saw Shangguan Yao's expression with a smile, knowing that he was extremely satisfied with Nalan Bing's current performance, she forcibly suppressed her displeasure and said: "Then let's play a game against our Mu Bai, only if we defeat our Mu Bai can we be qualified to enter the door of the Rongguo Mansion." ”
